So Dogwoodgirrrrrl put up an old ticket stub and that got me looking through a box of treasures. WOW! I 've seen some good shows and some of them I can actually remember being at! A description of what you are looking at left column first:
8/9/92- Smashing Pumpkins at the Masquerade- I know Dave was there, this was probably after Gish and before Siamese Dream. I have a video of the show two nights later somewhere in FLA, so its kinda like remembering.
8/20/92- 2nd Lollapalooza: PJ, Ministry, RHCP, Sound Garden. The real emergence of GRUNGE music to the masses. Not the best Lollapalooza I would say. That would have been 1994, I think, Superchunk, Jesus Lizard, Pavement, Cyprus Hill, Sonic Youth. Anne please be discrete with your follow up comments- my parents do read this. j/k
4/14/94- Afghan Wigs at the Masquerade. This was one of those nights the good lord was looking after us. Dave and I, Kelly and Sharon drove down from Athens, it was a "strange trip" to say the least. I think My Bloody Valentine or Dinosaur Jr opened. And after a perilous trip in the car and through the new fangled toll plaza, the music was sooo loud, you wanted to throw up. Dave could probably give you the set list from each band, but I can barely remember being there.
10/7/94- Pavement at the Masquerade. There is footage of this show on their DVD release. It was as Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain was getting popular. I remember Stephen Malkmus was selling t-shirts, and I remember thinking that they should have had someone else doing that, I mean this guy is a rock star! Great show! The floor used to bounce up and down which was always ac reepy feeling.
9/11/96- Sebadoh at the Cotton Club- Didn't even make this show until the last song of the lst encore. Karyn, April, and I ended up at Harris and Leigh's place just down the street, unable to be around a large group of people in a small environment, we finally made the push to go to the concert and it was over. Damn it.
11/11/89- The fabled R.E.M. in Macon show. See Kite Chronicles and Dogwood Girl for subsequent comments about this show. I sure it wasn't even that good...
3/3/90- Kevn Kinney at the Roxy. Remember Kevn Kinney? neither does anyone else. I can tell you there were some D'N'C ticket stubs in this box as well.
9/15/89- Guadalcanal Diary at the Center Stage (no cameras. funny). They almost hit it big in the wake of R.E.M. and the southern college-alt rock scene of the late 80's. What was i doing out at this concert while in high school?? The official story probably was that I was at the library studying.
9/30/89- Not a bad two weeks for being in high school. If you can name 1 Fetchin Bones song without looking it up, I will pay you $1000 us dollars.
11/17/91- The Pixies at the Center Stage. Trompe Le Monde tour. Just awesome. The Drop Nineteens opened, again I know Dave was there but couldn't tell you anyone else. I saw the Pixies a few years ago in Denver on their "we still matter " tour. Not so impressive and certainly paid more than $17.25 for the ticket. Kim Deal is tasty.

I don't know where to start. Overwhelm.

Pretty sure I was at this show. You mentioned floor shaking there at another show, but i remember that at all the good shows there. Cept Flaming lips with the christmas lights and Radiohead a couple nights before moving to Denver. Worst shaking by far was My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult.

As my Mama always says, "Baby, I'd help you bury the body." You don't have to worry. You are a good boy.
"9/11/96- Sebadoh at the Cotton Club- Didn't even make this show until the last song of the lst encore." You missed out. Good show.
"11/11/89- The fabled R.E.M. in Macon show. See Kite Chronicles and Dogwood Girl for subsequent comments about this show. I sure it wasn't even that good..." So help me out here - did you see this show or not? I cannot remember.
"3/3/90- Kevn Kinney at the Roxy. Remember Kevn Kinney? neither does anyone else. I can tell you there were some D'N'C ticket stubs in this box as well." Me, too. I am afraid this was the night of which we shall not speak, but i am not sure. Did I ride with you? Did I drink vodka? Did I make extremely regrettable bets? ugh. This is why video in high school would be bad.
"9/30/89- Not a bad two weeks for being in high school. If you can name 1 Fetchin Bones song without looking it up, I will pay you $1000 us dollars." Husband, Todd, looking over my shoulder. I draw a blank. He says, "say 'Monster."
"11/17/91- The Pixies at the Center Stage. Trompe Le Monde tour. Just awesome. The Drop Nineteens opened, again I know Dave was there but couldn't tell you anyone else."
Good show. Think i also saw them at Ga Theater on that tour. Good stuff.
"I saw the Pixies a few years ago in Denver on their "we still matter " tour. Not so impressive and certainly paid more than $17.25 for the ticket. Kim Deal is tasty." I saw two shows on this tour also, and thought they were still great, but was a bit sad, because my husband, who loves Pixies, had never seen then "back in the day" and i held it over his head (mercilessly - you know me) and now I can't anymore.
P.s. Will have to do similar ticket stubs post when I have time.
ARGGGHHH! Todd wants $1000 dollars american for coming up with an album name. We looked up afterwards. "Love Crushing" is the song i liked off that album.
Yes. I was at the Macon show, which makes the story even more "excellent".... something about a vodka induced night? which one???? there were so many. And ohhhhhh, so close with Monster. We were asking for a song, not the title of the album. Impressive though.
So funny that you're posting ticket stubs...I actually had the exact same thought- to go through old stuff and see what I come up with. Haven't done it yet...will soon. Good stuff here!
